Mayor of Ards and North Down, Alderman Alan Graham, attended the Year 8 Connected Unit Award Ceremony at Bangor Academy this week.

Year 8 pupils were given the task of redesigning Bangor Seafront. They worked in small groups across English, Maths, Geography, Music and Art to plan and produce a film pitching their redesign ideas.

Using iPads and a range of different apps, the pupils were able to connect the knowledge and skills from all five subjects to research, take photos, film, edit, compose music, add voice-overs and insert titles for their final advertisement.

The Award Ceremony celebrated and showcased the best work. Pictured are the teams who produced the top three movies in Year 8 with project co-ordinator, Mrs Susanne McGrillen.
